I'm not personally against having JSON output as an option, but it also
doesn't seem that much more useful beyond simply writing your own tool
that does more complex logic.
The messages are standardized and use TLV format so writing your own
send/receive bits would not be too difficult. Plus, if you don't mind
GPL you can just simply fork and port pmc into whatever language you prefer.
